After a series of events ( I got dumped) I finally released this shirt, well months after . The people that know me, know how bad things were. I was severely depressed. I was a heavy set guy 6’3” 289 pounds. When my ex and I broke up I was already losing weight via I’m vegan and also just not eating. (Around this time my eating disorder got out of hand.) I dropped down to 132 with all my clothes on.... sooooo I looked like a skeleton im well aware of that. Hahaha. This was my I’m not gonna die photo shoot. I’m a heroin addict, well I used to be I guess. I’ll be honest a lot of my friends thought I had relapsed on drugs. Hell I wish I would have, it would have been way easier. I went to long to mention just eating a banana in the morning and drinking water all day. I was living where I worked which is a whole other story. I lived inside a exotic reptile/fish store that I managed. One night I found myself so sick from my body shutting down that I was vomiting and had the shakes/fever. I’ve detoxed off heroin and a bunch of other drugs. This was almost worse I knew there wasn’t any fast cure. Like I had to just ride it out till ummmm idk death? I made it through that night of course. But my depression had such a strong hold on me. Anyways I dropped this long sleeve. The sleeves mean something I really felt during that time. But I’ll be honest I was super excited on the first drop because I rushed everything. I had no support from anyone. I just like took pictures with my buddy levi, then released it. I’m going to be 100 percent honest my memory is shot already. So much has happened since then that I can’t remember everything. That’s why I came here. To start like writing out the story of Always Sad Clothing. Well from my side. I’ve already had a bunch of people involved. There is another owner but I’m not gonna speak for him. I’m just telling my side. Shit had been crazy. At one point during all this I was literally living in a 16 ft trailer. The reptile shop closed down, like I said that’s a wild story. I don’t know if I can included that. Depending how this is received maybe I’ll keep running more of my crazy life story since we started this company. I mean things have been crazy as hell. The feds, animal control, cops, raids and I’m sure you see how this is all going lol. Anyways till next time guys.
